Hold Mode
If your vehicle’s transaxle has hold mode, you can
select this mode to drive with some characteristics of
a manual transaxle. With hold mode turned on, the
automatic transaxle will stay in a specific gear range.
Press the HOLD button on the shift lever console to turn
on hold mode. Press the button again to turn off hold
mode, and return to normal automatic transaxle
operation.
While on, the HOLD indicator light on the secondary
information center will light up. See Hold Mode Light on
page 3-28.
When hold mode is activated, the transaxle is fixed in
the gear selected.
